Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be emphasized that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention, are some, not all, and therefore do not limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a negative differential thermal conductance device (NDTC) based on an interfacial thermal resistance effect includes: the heating end 1 and the heated end 4 spaced apart from the heating end 1 are arranged between the heating end 1 and the heated end 4, and the homojunction/heterojunction structure (i.e. homojunction or heterojunction structure) is formed by two sections of materials in a close contact manner. At least one of the two sections of materials (namely the first material 2 and the second material 3) forming the homojunction/heterojunction structure has a negative thermal expansion effect in an operating temperature range, so that a thermal device has a negative differential thermal conductivity characteristic in the operating temperature range, and the homojunction/heterojunction structure integrally has a negative effective thermal expansion coefficient at the operating temperature.
The homojunction/heterojunction structure employed in the present invention is a commercially available product. The homojunction/heterojunction material has negative thermal expansion characteristics as a whole, and only the first material 2 or the second material 3 can be selected to be a negative thermal expansion material, or can be formed by a negative thermal expansion material doped with a positive thermal expansion material.
The negative differential thermal conduction device is formed by contacting two sections of materials, and the two sections of materials can be made of homogeneous materials or heterogeneous materials. During the working period of the negative differential thermal conduction device, the temperature difference between the heating end and the heated end acts on the homojunction/heterojunction, and the generated heat flow sequentially passes through the homojunction/heterojunction, and the negative differential thermal resistance effect of the thermal device is originated from the interface thermal resistance effect of the homojunction/heterojunction. When the temperature of the heating end is the same as that of the heated end and no heat flows through the homojunction/heterojunction, the interfaces of the homojunction/heterojunction are in good contact with each other, a certain mutual extrusion effect is achieved, the thermal resistance of the interfaces of the homojunction/heterojunction is small, and the heat transport channel of the homojunction/heterojunction is in an open state. When the temperature difference between the heating end and the heated end is increased, the volume of the homojunction/heterojunction structure with the negative thermal expansion coefficient is shrunk, the pressure at the interface of the homojunction/heterojunction structure is reduced, so that the thermal resistance of the interface between the homojunction/heterojunction structure is rapidly increased, and when the temperature difference between the heating end and the heated end is greater than the temperature difference threshold value, a thermal transport channel formed by the homojunction/heterojunction structure is gradually closed, so that the negative differential thermal conduction effect is caused.
Preferably, the first material 2 and the second material 3 are selected from one or more of negative thermal expansion materials. Wherein the negative thermal expansion material can be selected from, but not limited to, Si, ZrW2O8、Bi0.95La0.05NiO3、Mn3Cu0.53Ge0.47N, and the like. According to the invention, the selection of the material should comprehensively consider the effective total thermal expansion coefficient of the homojunction/heterojunction, the working temperature interval, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of the material, the magnitude of heat flow required by the thermal device during working and other factors.
Preferably, two ends of the homojunction/heterojunction structure are respectively in close contact with and fixed on the heating end 1 and the heated end 4, so that the homojunction/heterojunction structure is ensured not to move in operation. That is, the contact surface between the heating end 1 and the first material 2 and the contact surface between the second material 3 and the heated end 4 are tightly contacted and fixedly arranged. In the step, the situation that the negative thermal expansion material has integrity due to shrinkage is considered, the two ends of the negative thermal expansion material are fixed, so that a thermal transport channel can be closed more quickly, and more accurate thermal transport control is realized.
In an embodiment of the present invention, taking the homogeneous structure of Si as an example of the heat transport channel, the homogeneous junction is placed in the temperature field formed by the heating end 1 and the heated end 4, the temperature of the heated end is controlled to be always kept at 100K, the temperature of the heating end is gradually changed from 100K to 120K, and the relationship between the steady-state heat flow J and the temperature difference between the heating end 1 and the heated end 4 is measured, and as a result, as shown in fig. 2, the heat flow has a maximum value when the temperature difference is 15K, that is, a negative differential thermal conduction phenomenon occurs. That is, the temperature difference-heat flow curve of a thermal device is characterized by a decreasing heat flow between a first applied temperature difference and a second applied temperature difference that is greater than the first applied temperature difference, i.e., a heat flow maximum occurs. The characteristic provides a new idea for realizing specific temperature heating and temperature control, simplifies the method for realizing temperature control by combining the traditional temperature detector and the traditional temperature controller, and realizes the properties of heating and temperature control by utilizing the self property of the heat transport channel.
Preferably, when the temperature difference between the heating end 1 and the heated end 4 is greater than the temperature difference threshold, the current passing through the homojunction/heterojunction gradually decreases to 0, i.e. the output value of the thermal logic device changes from 1 to 0. This also provides a straightforward idea for the design of thermal logic devices. The above example is a low temperature of about 100K, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the negative differential thermal conductance device and the negative differential thermal conductance apparatus that operate in different temperature ranges can be designed by replacing the negative thermal expansion material that forms the thermal transport channel.
According to the present invention, the negative differential thermal conductance device may be a one-dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional structure, for example, a linear structure, a ring structure or a columnar structure. As an expansion scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, the homojunction/heterojunction structure forming the heat transport channel may also have other shapes, and fig. 3 shows a two-dimensional thermal device with negative differential thermal conductivity characteristics based on the interface thermal resistance effect. The volume, the surface area and the shape of the two sections of materials forming the homojunction/heterojunction structure are not strictly specified, and the two sections of materials can be set according to factors such as the thermal transport dimension, the appearance of a heating end, the appearance of a heated end and the like which are regulated and controlled as required.
As an optimization scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the two sections of materials of the homojunction/heterojunction structure are both made of materials with larger negative thermal expansion effect, so that sharper steady-state heat flow and a temperature difference curve between the heating end 1 and the heated end 4 can be realized, and the design of a local small-range and high-precision thermal regulation device can be realized by utilizing the property.
As an optimization scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the two sections of materials of the homojunction/heterojunction structure can be formed by a section of negative thermal expansion material and a section of positive thermal expansion material, the homojunction/heterojunction structure is ensured to have a negative effective thermal expansion coefficient in a working interval, more stable steady-state heat flow and a temperature difference curve between the heating end 1 and the heated end 4 can be realized, and the design of a thermal regulation device with a large local area can be realized by utilizing the property. Preferably, the homojunction/heterojunction structure can be selected from, but is not limited to: ZrW2O8、HfW2O8And the like.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided an application of the negative differential thermal conductance device based on the interfacial thermal resistance effect in a thermal logic device, a thermal rectifier device, and a thermal control device, such as a thermal triode, a specific temperature heat sink, and a specific temperature thermal switch.
Preferably, including series-parallel connection of thermal switches, a specific demand thermal logic circuit is constructed, allowing complex thermal control systems to be implemented.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
